English Class <WSET® Level 3 Award in Wines> Hybrid

The Level 3 Hybrid course is composed by 15 theory sessions held online + 3 tasting sessions in the classrooms. The content is exactly the same as the classroom course, but it offers the comfort of following most of the lessons online.
The exam will be in the classroom at the end of the course.

The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is designed to give a thorough understanding of the factors that account for the style, quality and price of the principal still, sparkling and fortified wines of the world. The qualification will assist those who are required to make professional evaluations of wines with regards to their style, quality and price.
The qualification provides the in-depth product knowledge required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in product selection in the retail and hospitality sectors.
Successful candidates will be able to describe the characteristics of the principal wines of the world and give information on the key factors influencing style, quality and price. They will consequently be in a position to advise management, to answer customer queries authoritatively, and to make informed selections of wines in a variety of situations.
